@terryenglish Some schools sometimes are doing it, rarely, society changed, schools expect parents and teenagers to learn such things rather at home. It varies from country to country. By the way, I don't think it will be much different in 100 years, probably worse due to surveillance and control of population.

@louis That is freaking cool and I wish you all the best. It's funny you're fulfilling the role that school should've been doing like ten years ago lol.

@terryenglish While Internet may be used in such clubs, it is open for members, and public is welcome to become member per day, week or month, or year. They could use computer for unlimited time. What is difference is social activity, it is not a service rather a club. So active assistance is offered to people and incentives to learn programming.

@louis Oh that's really cool. You could open local locations and kind of take over where Internet cafes have kind of faded away.

@terryenglish The new line of #GNU Free Software Club will be opened physically, it will have its rooms, desks, computers, USB flash disks, and a lot of printed documentation for people to learn and switch their Windoze to GNU/Linux.

@louis COVID-19 has really finished killing off local GNU/Linux user groups so having an online venue would really be welcome.

@terryenglish My intention is to open GNU Free Software Club and help people as I was doing similar activity back in past. Then other people may follow by my example. Projects when written can be replicated as successful actions. In general I have helped many friends and family to switch to GNU/Linux and I have explained why it is so, and pointed out freedom and privacy issues. #GNU

Richard Dawkins stripped of ‘humanist of the year’ award after inviting discussion on transgender issues in tweet

https://www.rt.com/usa/521540-dawkins-stripped-humanist-award/

I know there are a lot of good intentioned people including Dawkins himself on this issue. Many who want to protect the rights earned rightfully by trans people. Allowing zero discussion on these matters however, is not the way to go.
